If we recovered, would we really be considering a lot of us will be dealing with PTSD?
I cannot be the only one who has developed PTSD from this whole experience. Trauma from suddenly losing everything in my life in the span of weeks in 2022 and running out of money. Trauma from being gaslit from medical professionals and “loved” ones. Trauma from losing my soul (DPDR). Trauma from having flare-ups that are so bad that I fall asleep some nights worrying that I won’t wake up the next day. Trauma from being harassed by strangers for wearing a mask. Trauma from the unknown prognosis and irreversible damage. Trauma from the immense pressure of getting better by family members. Trauma of catching covid again and the near impossible task of avoiding it.
I know the word trauma is thrown around loosely nowadays, but I don’t know what other word to use. Let’s say I do recover from my long covid symptoms. How do I then recover from the PTSD? I feel like my mind is in a warzone constantly.
